Tag: Flammkuchen

I was asking my hubby on Saturday night, what should I cook tomorrow, my usual Sunday cooking. He sent me few things which are the dishes he loves to eat back in Germany, and I choice this one, Flammkuchen, which it’s like pizza but a German version.

The thing about Flammkuchen, there are few things we have to look into. For example, it should be either in square or oval shape; whereas pizza is in round shape. The sauce for Flammkuchen is sour creme based, versus pizza is more tomato sauce based. Instead of coming up with my own ingredients or version, let’s start with a very typical one.

I am going to make one with onion and bacon to start with. First of all, we have to work on the dough, mix 250g plain flour with 125ml of warm water, some olive oil and a pinch of salt. I didn’t add any yeast, which should be fine with the flatbread. Roll the dough out into rectangular shape, then add mixed double cream and cream fraiche, you can also try with mixed sour cream and Greek yoghurt, on top of the flatbread. If you have ever made pizza before, that’s just like how you add the tomato sauce on your pizza base. Then season with some salt and pepper, and add the toppings, onion strips and diced bacon. Place that in the preheated oven under 250C and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Add some finely chopped spring onion or chives on top for better look and better taste.

I made the same one again by adding some halved cherry tomatoes, taste delicious!
